I suggest you listen to the podcasts that were posted on the boards from the recent AH Con.  HiTech explained that he gets your type of complaint a lot, and it is due to internet lag, not "cheating" or "cord yanking" as a lot of people surmise.  

In a nutshell, if you see him jumping all over the screen in front of you, rest assured he is seeing you jump around all over the place as well.  It is due to the two of you being too close for the positional information transmitted over the net to properly keep up.

The cable jerking myth was dispelled many, many months ago.

It might be nice to put a ping plot on the ALT-I inflight display to see what your pings are to the server, of course it wouldn't tell you what your opponent's ping is but it might help a lot of pilots figure out if there is a problem on their end.

Just seems strange to me that you can be tracking a boagy for several minutes and watch him manuver in and kill 3 of your team mates, all this time his plane never once shows any signs of warping, then as soon as I or one of my team mates does a good acm and gets on his 6 for the kill shot he just happens to magically warp during that 1 second firing window!!!   To me that is just to convienant to blow it off as random warping.

film it, and send it to HTC. HT said there is alot more info avalible to him in the films than we can get, and he should be able to see whats going on. Should it turn out to be something funny, Im sure he'll take care of it  :)

This is the point.  While watching him shoot down 3 of your team mates, you were watching from a good enough distance that the "smoothing code" does not show any warp/lag.  When you saddle up close for a 6 shot, he starts jerking the stick around to get you off, you start jerking yours trying to follow, internet lag fails to keep up, and suddenly he appears to be bouncing back and forth across your windscreen like a superball.

I have a feeling this is going to be one myth that will be harder to dispell than even the "ram model" conspiracy theory.  :noid

ever notice that a plane will warp at the exact second you pull the trigger?

I've had it happen to me as the shooter and have had complaints of me doing it when the target.  

Seems to me that if you are that close and then you pull the trigger, bullets flying, etc....thats quite a bit more info being sent.  But thats just my take on it, could be wrong (and probably am)

Has HTC ever addressed whether turning starting a record, or taking a screen shot will cause the micro warps?

Ok, that sounds SO wrong. :D

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.
